"wonder if they'll also scale it down to 1:144 ?" 1/144 was released two years ago. But I read, it's a A-model 'copy' and it fits not that good.

28ZComeback Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 About 19 years ago I had a 1/72 resin An-22 but couldn't keep up with the sanding and dry-fitting. I sold it. Stupid me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was an Eastern Express kit. Still have in the stash. Eastern Express is a Russian company that (at least according to another since suppressed thread had it’s molds made in Ukraine). Understandably hard to come by now although Chinese ebay sellers are still a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radleigh Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 I believe this is a complete new tool... They mentioned that on their Facebook page some months back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect time has only made the situation worse ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learstang Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 I wonder if it will be like the AMonster kits with their fiberglass big parts, and IM plastic smaller parts, or even if it might be all IM plastic! Now that would be great. I'll probably buy one anyway as I miss that An-22 kit I sold to Radders (Radleigh) a few years back. How is that going, Radleigh, by the way?

MrB17 Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I had the A Model kit in the early 2000’s, epoxy glass fuselage and wings, vacuformed inner fuselage and the rest injection moulded. Regrettably I sold it on evil bay to someone in Texas. I may be tempted to buy the AA kit depending on the price. I think I paid about $450 Cdn for the A Model kit, I can’t remember what I got for it on EBay, but it was less than I paid for it. Wingspan is almost 36” and length is about 31.5” It’s huge! That’s what my wife said when she first saw it. 😉 I would hope it has Ukrainian markings, it’s a very sharp scheme. I also have several photos of one in mostly bare metal with some chromate panels, after a strip and overhaul, and that would also look cool. Hmmm….

bentwaters81tfw Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Mmmm. Interesting. I have an EE 1/144 in the stash. I wouldn't mind one of these subject to price and space needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricaneflyer Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Just looking at that image makes my wallet feel lighter. Oh well, time to start saving up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
